This week the children at the Oadby site have been getting ready to celebrate the festival Wesak that is on Monday 4th May.

Wesak is the most important Buddhist festival, taking place at the full moon when the sun is in the zodiacal sign of Taurus, and commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and death of the Buddha. The children have been doing activities such as painting candles and coloring in pictures of Buddha. The children listened to a story about the festival Wesak so they knew what it was about. They have made a display to show what they have made.
